Christmas is fast approaching, which means it’s time to start preparing and sending your parcels and gifts. Planning ahead is the best way to ensure everything arrives on time.
To help you get your items delivered before the Christmas break, we’ve put together the final sending dates for our services. Sending early is always the safest approach, especially during the peak shopping and shipping period when courier networks experience a significant increase in volume.
Booking Through a Service Centre (Your Most Reliable Christmas Delivery Option)
If your delivery is time-sensitive, valuable, fragile, or simply too important to risk, the most reliable and effective way to send it is through your local PACK & SEND Service Centre.
Our freight experts will understand your deadline, destination, and budget — then select the fastest and most dependable courier service available. Service Centres have access to premium couriers, alternative routing options, and specialist packaging solutions that aren’t available online.
If there’s a way to get your parcel delivered by Christmas, our Service Centres will find it.
Phone 1300 668 000 or visit your nearest Service Centre to experience the difference.
Depending on your destination, Service Centres may still be able to help you with urgent deliveries scheduled to arrive on or before Wednesday 24th December.
Booking Through Online Self Service
Below are the last sending dates for parcels booked and collected via our Online Self-Service system. Shipments lodged on or before these dates are scheduled to arrive on or before Wednesday 24 December.
